Perfectly Blanched Sugar Snap Peas (for Snacking!)
Perfectly tender still crisp blanched sugar snap peas recipe. Peas are boiled for 2 minutes and then soaked in a ice bath. These are our favorite for snacking and easy lunch box snacks!
Ingredients
- 1 pound sugar snap peas equals about 4 cups
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Remove the strings from each pea pod and discard (compost them!).
- In a medium-sized pot bring 8 cups of water to a boil.
- Prepare a large bowl of ice water that we’re going to put the peas in after they’re done cooking to prevent over cooking and to keep them crisp!
- Add the sugar snap peas and salt and cook until the peas are tender, about 2-3 minutes.
- Use a slotted spoon and remove the peas from the boiling water and add them into the ice water, letting them sit there for a few minutes to cool down.
- Serve as needed, or pat dry and store in the refrigerator in an airtight container, great for snacking or lunch boxes for a couple of days.
